Hasn't gone to appeal yet. Let's see what a good appeals lawyer can find in the
way of fed screw-ups during the trial. Six months at most, maybe all suspended.

She was convicted of lying about her innocence. Think about that for
a second.

This is Soviet-esque.

Do you honestly think a woman worth hundreds of millions of dollars
would risk everything to avoid losing a few thousand dollars in a
stock sale?

In Martha Stewart's case, I would say, Panic, plus poor advice from her
first lawyer. He should have advised her to come clean and settle out of
court. This is what lawyers are for....To give good advice to neophytes who
are likely to panic and do the wrong thing. She has been very poorly advised
by someone who should have known better.
